The Power of Mercy

1676) I have often thought rules were the most important things. If there’s something I’m supposed to do, then failure to do them is sin. This is true, but my question is, how does mercy fit into this? Mercy, simply defined, is not getting a punishment or judgment I deserve. This does not mean what

The Consultant

1674) From time to time, usually when walking my dog, I reflect on the person I am now, versus when I was 20. There is so much I now understand that I thought I did then, when in reality, I did not. I have wished there had been some way to have had the wisdom

Later

1673) Growing up, I heard the word, “later”, frequently and I find I use it a lot with my young scholars. When I asked certain things of my parents, an easy answer was, “Later.” Why is this an easy answer? Because there is no dialogue that is necessary beyond this pronouncement. “Later” can mean a

An Important Test

1672) I never was great at taking tests when I was in school. If there was a project-based assessment, I excelled, but when it came to question and answer tests, not so much. Now, as an adult, I don’t have to be concerned about this, right? No. There are driver’s tests, budgeting demands, trying to

I’m a Failure

1671) For those who do not live in a writer’s world, it may not be obvious why so many who set out to write a book fail. Let me see if I can describe why this is so. First, you’ve got to come up with an idea. Then, you have to write the story. Most

Eagles Examined

1670) Isaiah 40:31is a verse which holds such a blessing. But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Because it is a well-known verse, sometimes we can overlook some nuggets of

Light Always Prevails

1669) One of my quirks (I know, you didn’t think I had any) is I hate feeling closed in and this includes having curtains drawn across windows. Fortunately for me, I live in a place where I don’t need to have them covered for privacy, unless I’m worried deer will look in while I’m getting

Caesar’s Household

1668) Have you ever been reading your Bible and see something you may have missed for many years? I have. One such example I found in Philippians 4:22. In this verse, Paul is signing off on his letter to the church in Philippi, something I quickly scan through. On this day, however, I noticed verse

The Fullness of Time

1666) If you want to find out what time it is, there are a plethora of resources. You can, of course, check your smart watches, your phone, the clocks in your cars, stoves, electronics and more. It seems like time is right in our faces. Time has also changed. If you need to contact someone,

The Mystery Of Prayer

1666) I have a confession to make and that is, I find the subject of prayer confusing. Why? Let me see if I can explain. I know there are verses throughout the Bible that admonish us to pray, 1Thessalonians 5:17, for example. (Pray without ceasing.) I know most of these verses by heart, but what
